Busch Wildlife Sanctuary

We visited Busch Wildlife today, wich we do pretty often.  I tried to get some good pictures of the animals.  They have all been rescued and are used for educational purposes.  The kids really like feeding the turtles and catfish, something we can do at home.  The panthers are pretty cool, too.  I wouldn’t want to come across one of those in the woods.

Palm Beach Zoo 9.11.08

I like to take Wyatt to the zoo every few weeks.  We actually got to see the tiger and gigantic gopher tortises this time.  Wyatt really likes turtles, and the old truck.

first surfing adventure of the year

I can’t really say that our surfing adventure was anything really grand, but we have made it to the beach twice in the past few days.  I guess a more appropriate title would be the first sun tan of the year.  Not bad for February in Florida.

I have to admit that getting to the beach is a lot more of a hassle with kids, but it is worth it.  Now I have to load and unload all of the gear usually by myself, while hoping my little one doesn’t wander off…longboards, kayak, paddles, life jackets, food, drinks, extra sunscreen.  Anyways, the beach was basically flat, so the view from the kayak was really cool.  We paddled over the reef and saw all sorts of fish and a few sharks.  We even caught a few waves.  I let the kids each paddle the kayak by themselves.  Wyatt didn’t get very far, but I give him credit.  He’s only 1 1/2.  Croix goes a bit further.  She liked to use the paddle with the longboard gondola style. 

I found a dead crab and the kids gave it a proper funeral.
